I remember being impressed by Julia Rose who played Julie Newmar in Return to the Batcave, the Further adventures of Adam and Burt, which was an adaptation of Adam West's autobiography, but that's just further gratis to Julie since it was just a talented fascimilie of her rendition.

I feel saddened that we never saw Gina Gershon in some sort of Catwoman outfit after performing quite well on one of the animated series.

Most of the reviews I've seen agree that Hathaway's Selina was the best thing about The Dark Knight Rises even when they found the rest of the movie flawed. She's certainly the best live-action screen Catwoman since Julie Newmar.

I say thee nay, mon ami! This gentleman prefers the blonde! Yes, Anne looked fantastic, but her Selina spent her entire movie trying to get out of being (don't-call-her-)Catwoman, whereas Michelle was just delighted to wield the claws. Point goes to her!

Wonder Woman is a weird character with a weird origin story and weird powers. She worked in a cheesier time, but for her to work now, I think her backstory would have to seriously be re-designed. Daughter of the Gods? Invisible plane? Magic lasso that makes you tell the truth? Just too goofy. I can barely suspend my disbelief when she pops up in cartoons anymore.

I think Catwoman could work well as a live-action series, as she is also a fairly independent character that wouldn't require shoehorning Batman into the story (not that you couldn't).

DC is a boy's club. There are plenty of female Marvel characters that could support their own series, but unfortunately you just don't have that many if you're exclusively looking at the DC Universe.

Stargirl/Starwoman has lots of potential, especially if they go with a version that's post Jack Knight Starman's retirement. I've always liked Courtney's character.

I guess the counter-argument would be Thor.

Totally, and Marvel did an awesome job with Thor, so it's certainly not impossible for Wonder Woman to work as well.

Honestly, it's mostly the invisible plane that I can't get past. Get rid of that, and I'd be way more okay with the character.

Nolan's Catwoman is consistent with her comic book counterpart. She isn't an amalgam of several characters like John Blake is, so there's still room for Batgirl. I think Batgirl would be more like one of the pretenders we saw in The Dark Knight.

Well, that's easy. It's hardly an indispensable feature. The modern version of Wonder Woman can fly under her own power anyway, so she has no need of such a thing. In the animated Justice League, WW didn't use one, although she did acquire a cloaked aircraft by the time of JL Unlimited.

Would you be okay with it if it were done the JLU way, as an aircraft with a cloaking device, rather than a transparent aircraft where you can clearly see Wonder Woman sitting inside it?

I think a cloaked plane is better than one that is just invisible and we see her just sitting there. Since she can fly I don't see the point in a plane at all unless it is some sort of gag or the plane is big enough to transport a team of JLers that can't fly or to rescue a group of people...which would be the case in a stand alone WW movie.
